Usborne are widely known for their very popular range of abridged classics... Chunky and complete with clear print and colour illustrations, these should appeal to those parents and grandparents keen to encourage children to encounter past great reads in their entirety. With this very approachable and palatable format there is a good chance they will succeed. --Sonia Benster, The Children's Bookshop

A beautiful gift edition of this timeless classic by Johanna Spyri, enchantingly illustrated and told in its complete and unabridged form. Perfect for reading aloud to younger children too.

When she is taken to Frankfurt, her homesickness and a new friendship with a disabled girl called Clara lead to an extraordinary turn of events. With a padded cover, stylish design and a ribbon marker, this will make a gift to be treasured and shared together again and again.
